'Lower No Man's Land' Alive as Hallowe'en

BY DOT THAGARD Riviera-Times Correspondent Well, one more Halloween is over. What a rugged celebration that one was—three big carnivals, one parade, and "trick and treating." No Man Landers were busy helping at the carnivals, with Pete and Loretta Gascoyne s-0-0-0 active at the St. Theresa Carnival and among others, the Bracy Richardsons and the Wm. Cauleys, doing their little duty stunt at the Elementary School Carnival. That exquisite "faerie" in the gold slippers in the parade was young Vickie Cauley—first grader at the Coral Gables School. Noticing some very important laundry hanging on the line at 4546 SW 16th Terrace, we dropped over to find the R. W. McCandliss' had welcomed a baby girl, Linda Sue, born on October 25th. Mr. McCandliss is associated with the Gables Branch of Great Southern Stores. Didn't Take Long It didn't take the Dick Schmids of 4354 SW 16th Lane long to get their yard in tip top condition with the five or six men we saw toiling Sunday. Their new and very pretty home was just recently completed. Mrs. Schmid is the daughter of the J. D. Girtman's of 1700 LeJeune Road. Incidentally the Girtmans (Sr.) had a wonderful summer in Claudland, Georgia, where they stayed from May to October seeing the glorious colors of the spring and fall foliage for the first time. Gable Girtman is rapidly recovering from a serious eye operation he underwent in late September and is now able to put tea to work in his yard again. Mr. Girtman also experienced the thrill in September when making a quick trip home and back of having breakfast in Miami, lunch in Atlanta and supper in their mountain home at Claudland. Toys Needed As Chairman of the Welfare Committee, of the Coral Gables Woman's Club, your correspondent would like to make an appeal for usable toys. Toys that can b repaired and fixed up to bring pleasure to underprivileged children of all ages at Christmas time. If you have anything that you don't have will you please call 4-0511 or 4-4700. Citizens, get out and exercise your rights! today in the school election. As American citizens you're entitled to the privilege of a vote so take advantage of it. If you don't have children in public school, vote anyway as the school system is a mainstay of our way of living. Every citizen should be concerned with its welfare and progress.

(UP) — Carl Mims, sophomore halfback on the University of Alabama football squad, quit school today and returned to his home in Sylacauga, Ala., according to the Birmingham Post.
